It seems like our (the average person’s) chances of going into outer space are increasing. Wouldn’t it be cool to soar far above our Earth and see our favorite places from far above? We think so!
If you had the opportunity to go into outer space, would you? Does your answer depend on whether or not you’d know if you could return safely or not? Or would you go no matter what?
After you vote, tell us in the comments if you would or wouldn’t go, and why! Thanks!

Oh, sign me up!!!
I will be the first in line.
Absolutely in a nano-second! You wouldn’t have to ask me twice.
Once upon a time…
However after the space shuttle disasters I changed my mind.
That’s the way I feel about flying in a crowd killer!
I would jump at the opportunity.
If I won’t go to a foreign country I surely wouldn’t go to outer space. I find driving through the countryside is far more beautiful than flying over it in an airplane and you’ll definitely see less from outer space. When I see pics from space it’s nothing more than a big blue ball.
At one time, when younger, I would have been first in line. Now at 72 and having the typical body aches and pains, not so much. Of course with the advancements in space travel, it would not be out of the question.
Would really like to experience weightlessness one for more than just 30 seconds…
hitch a ride on the ‘vomit comet’. 😃
A space launch produces an immense carbon footprint and pollutes the atmosphere with aluminum oxide and hydrocloric acid. This contributes to ozone depletion. Every launch is the equivalent of putting two million cars on the highway. Both jeff bezos and richard bransen have lectured us common folk to sacrifice lifestyle and lower standard of living for supposed environmental benefit. So, will i behave like a typical liberal hypocrite and throw my useless mass into space for no productive benefit other than to feed my ego? I dont think so.
Why aren’t there ‘thumbs-up’ buttons?
Or “thumbs down” buttons . . .
or a ‘rolling eyes’ button. oh, wait…..🙄
Second
I’d love to go to space but I couldn’t tolerate being cooped up inside a spaceship.
Why in the world would I ? No desire to leave earth and my dog behind!
Yes Sir! I signed up for the Moon trip.
So far my uniqueness has not been recognized, unfortunately!
Probably ageism… When I was selling my time for a paycheck Google wouldn’t hire me either (I was over 35…)…
I’m almost always up for new adventures. I would definitely do it.
Never have I had a desire to go to space. However, there are many I’ve desired to send to space, so I’m all for the idea.
in a heartbeat!
30 years ago the answer would be definitely yes, but at my age it’s just a unfulfilled dream
NO WAY – Stupid is as stupid does!!!!
Yes, where does the line form?
Most DC residents are already there
I like what Wayne said, no way without my Beagle…
Today is national Walk Your Dog Day.
However where I live, it is too smoky for a dog walk today.
Yessssssss when and if they can build and fly one like the enterprise from Star trek
I zipline, I balloon, I even drive an RV on 10% grades Going into space is no greater risk and I have dreamed about going since Mercury launched. I’m in my late 70’s and continue to look for new adventures.
Not on purpose.
Probably not much more dangerous than driving on an Interstate around a major city with an RV. Especially trying to change lanes when some cars are going 20mph faster than the flow of traffic.
Not at my age, but it would be fun to go on a shorter flight to experience reduced gravity and float around for a minute.
I would go in a heartbeat. Grew up in Miami Beach during the late 50’s and 60’s and remember almost every launch from Cape Canaveral. Kept me dreaming. I dive and there is nothing above the water line that matches the vibrancy and colors below the surface. Only 66 and many more years , hopefully, to explore the inner space as well as the opportunity to explore outer space.
Sign me up!
If I could do it, I’d love to go up and spend a few weeks at a station. Not really interested in the launch, 1-2 minutes weightlessness and return.
No I like my feet on the ground most of the time except the odd flight once and again. 30 years ago I would have said when do we leave. Did a lot of flying in my younger days and dream of always wanting to fly in a SR-71 Blackbird of course it’s only a one seater or the U-2. But now just want to fly down the highways/byways and roads with the 5er in tow.
I am not too keen on air travel. Very happy to drive as much as can rather than fly. Not at all interested in space travel.
I would go without reservations [especially since the Shuttle is no longer flying].
A couple of weeks in the space station would be grand !!!
Where do I sign up ??
When I was younger, I would’ve jump at the chance, but now at 64, I’ll just enjoy traveling in my RV.
I assume if I were chosen it’s because I was healthy enough. Given that circumstance, I would go even if I had no guarantee of surviving.
Not just yes but HELL YES!
Where does a 70 year old sign up?
I have thought about that one way mission to Mars but not sure how I would feel once on our way. It would sure give one cause to pause.
